Very Busy Day....

I was thankfully able to attend Hope Brook Farms http://www.betterriding.com/

Open Barn - Bottle Drive today.

SPICIE would like to thank the following peeps for their support with their donated bottles:

Pete n Maria

Joyce n Elkenah

Dotti n Millie Girl

Craig n Debbie

Mindy n' Misty

Jasons Garage

It was great to be able to do what we could to support our next generation of riders in a great program to teach them not only to ride but how to take care of equines which is the most important aspect of owning horses. We all know from our blog visits to Fugly Horse Of The Day that there are WAY TOO MANY people who actually DONT know and dont mind not knowing. Thank you Melissa for taking up the torch and providing that knowledge to all your students!

Foremost.... I had a great time seeing SPICIE! It had been over two years! Can you believe it... time flies! She doesnt change a wink! I forgot how nice it is to recieve kisses as nobody in MY barn wants to learn to! :(

I spent lovie time with Spicie... I enjoyed holding her head in my arms and kissing her eyelids... her head became heavy and it brought me joy. She was very VERY relaxed in her NEW barn! I am so happy for her and her NEW BEGINNING to a very fruitful summer of teaching kids not only riding but how to keep the paint on the open canvas at summer camps!

Spicie wasnt the only one hogging my time.... ALARIC! What a big boy he is turning out to be for 2 yrs old! He is going to make a great dressage prospect! Nice neck and those "so totally dressage horse" coat colors... he is going to be some eye candy out there whether it be tacked out or harnessed up! Cant wait!

I wanted to get a picture of Melissa and Me with Spicie but I FORGOT! ERRR! I got all carried away with playing picture time with Spicie it slipped my mind....

NEXT TIME THOUGH!.... because HOOF PICS is just down the road and I have a feeling I will be making some hauls North on Rt 1 this Summer!

C'mon SPRING! Things to do ... people to see... cross country courses to jump!~

OMG .... Its Not A Dream....!!!!!!

WELL....

I was pinching myself this evening when I stopped by my friend Joycies house...

I couldnt believe what happened....

& So SOON...

I mean I thought another 5 weeks at least!~

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

Sooooooooooooo

Guess what happened....

OUR ROLEX TIXX ARRIVED!

I KNOW !!!! I KNOW!!!!

ITS ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN!

WOOOOOT!!!! WOOOOOT!!!!

We are totally elated! IF you couldnt guess!

SO READ em N WEAP HOSS LUVAHS!

HOTEL ..... $155

ROUND TRIP AIRLINES ....$310

ROLEX TIXX .... PRICELESS!!!!

Oh well and ....

the look on RONNIES FACE in first pic!!!!

HA!

So Is Anybody Else Sick Of The Snow?

Well I AM!

Sick of shoveling it, looking at it... trudging through it, & hearing about it!

My poor barn is well insulated with 24' Rafters

with an 11/12 pitched metal roof and as much snow as we've had!

That heavy weight line in the foreground... thats the fence line!

Look up clearing skies! Imagine that?

Horses get to nibble on weighed down limbs....

So being that it snowed all day ... basically, we ended up with another foot of fun!

The only way I dont care is to think that in 51 days

I will be breathing the warm sweet Kentucky air~ at the ROLEX!

Snow Day = Ebay Day... UGH!

Well I can turn my most recent purchases for my darling Angel into a good thing...

I had to have them.... NO REALLY. The old leather breast plate I had been using on him was brown for ONE! (my saddle is black) and older than dirt for TWO.... and on its last hole and actually if he were jumping it would be WAY too small. So check out this beauty! Elastic well made and oh... ya only the best as its coming from the UK - Bedfordshire, just outside of London.

What a beauty egh?

& this beauty I found on Ebay as well. Its in the lovely US of A and brandy spanking new and black with roler buckles! I KNOW! OR wait if you dont know let me inform you....

YOU NEED THOSE DARN ROLLER BUCKLES or you NEVER will get cinched up well due to the fact that you are huffing and puffing and trying like hell... if you had those little itsy bitsy roller buckles it would do the trick like flint! So that just tells you how old my original girth is! HEY when I invest in tack or horses its usually for the long haul and I like nice stuff. Back in the day all my old crap WAS NICE stuff... but 15 - 20 years goes by like a snap doesnt it?

Well I am off to check my other Ebay saves and finish my website as that is going to be the shiznit! I am excited to share and be rolling in the BUZnus when its up and running. Cant wait!

I can dooooo it! Well being that its snowing today is not a day for riding and tomorrow will definately be.... tune in then!

Sunday... another day of rest.

Today was a day without a horsie adjenda. Unfortunately for me it didnt work out. Never fails. I tried to go snowmobiling with friends. I didnt get very far as my husband hi performance 800 overheated. Aparently the trails were too hard and there wasnt any snow to kick up for the liquid cool. So after being out on the trail only 10 minutes I had to haul up - shut off and go back for my truck to load up and head home. Not wanting to hold up the 6 or so other people heading to a shin dig outdoor cookout thing. What a bummer.... not often do I do something other than RIDE my horses..... and I guess that is why! THEY DONT BREAK DOWN! So whatever.... I will stick with what works for me!

ONWARD ANGEL

HOME CHARLES

HIT IT BABY!

Trust not the motor as it will need oil, and tinkering, and gas and inspection stickers and registration and if NEW ... it will need that monthly payment and on and on... and LUV it will not return or appreciate!

Its snowing now and will all day tomorrow but isnt it far better to ride bareback quietly on a trail with your bum warm and almost being able to hear the snow fall?

As it was I was trying to drown out that irritating 2 stroke winding scream with my Ipod but it it proved challenging... and the fogging of the visor ....errrrrrr... it was probably better that I returned. I still have the 2 stroke engine smell on my skin..... I guess I am just accustom to the barn smell... its like aromatherapy!
